#amcrying

OH NO I submitted a story to a prestigious lit journal and the story itself is a pristine work of art but I put "it's" instead of "its" in the cover letter due to an ill-advised last moment edit done directly in the online form.

I am now going to crawl in a hole forever.

Oy, editing and figured out I used the word could 17million times in one chapter. #amwriting #amediting #amcrying

I'm doing a line edit...five chapters in and I've only gotten rid of 250 words. There's a reason this is the worst part of editing

I have come to a distressing realization.

...I wrote a Tsundere.

#AmWriting #AmQuerying #AmCrying

a woman is laying on a bed with her hand on her forehead Alt: Cynthia Bailey, former supermodel and Atlanta housewife lies on a bed with her hand on her forehead. While wearing an unassuming smile, she snatches herself bald and tosses her wig like she never knew her. Nobody was prepared.

It was all fun and games when I was drafting this revision, just writing whatever the hell I wanted, but NOW I have to edit it to make sense. It's over, I fear #amwriting #amediting #amcrying

Buggered up when duplicating a file to rework as the next in a series, lost all the original file’s work, and now have to re-edit from scratch: 4 hours wasted. I’m usually so careful with this sort of stuff — haven’t made a mistake like this in 🫏 🫏 years.

I just wrote this: ‘The latter of these accounts does relate the naming of the entity as a brownie ‘since s/he was resident in a cupboard’. (I can’t stop laughing! At myself!) #phdlife #amwriting #amcrying #amlaughing

My brain is currently boggarts, boggarts, boggarts! Where they fit into my fairy taxonomy, are they fairies? Will I have enough words left in my thesis to do them justice or just leave them out? #phdlife #folklore #amwriting #amcrying

I’ve spent five months and 67k words writing the first draft of this novel and it’s taking everything in me right now not to throw it out and start over 🙃 #WriterLife #AmWriting (kind of…more like #AmCrying)

Me: trying to relax with a scary video game during the holidays

Video game: let’s take that horror knife to your heart with a rejection letter IN THE GAME

a woman is crying in a crowd of people applauding . Alt: a woman is crying in a crowd of people applauding.

When you get those feedback comments and you squeal with delight but also want to cry from terror knowing the #edits you're about to have to undertake to make it better.

I just typed The End on a wee standalone Stone Age thingy I've been drafting off and on for nearly a decade.
